    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Looks good to me. Nice job. That's about the exact type of tear drop I put on my grandfather's vintage Morrison. I wanted somewhat of a soft shape, with a subtle bubble like that, rather than something sharp, deep and pronounced like you see on some tear drops. Andy

    I am out to buy my very first montecristi.

    You can easily attach a ribbon of your choice yourself, if you are willing to do it the way PHD does it. According to a video they sent me, they attach them with hot melt glue. That may raise eyebrows of some I don't know. I was a bit surprised myself. I wonder how other hatters attach the...

    OPTIMO FINE HATS: A Photographic Excursion

    Thanks Alan! I haven't been around too long and haven't seen this. I really enjoyed thread. Andy

    Another hat ? Really???

    I'm pretty lucky. I mull purchases over pretty carefully and for a long time (too long actually). My wife's comments are usually along the lines of, "Just buy it." That includes hats now. She's urging me to pull the trigger on a Peters Brothers Milan Hemp for my birthday. As usual, I'm still...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    OK, this is kind of an oddball, but a nice comment that needs an explanation. I did go to that reunion BBQ that I posted about earlier. There were no derogatory comments about my Panama hat like I expected. In fact, everyone was pretty civil this year compared to last. Not sure why everyone was...

    Peters Brothers

    Colors are really tough online. There are so many variables from lighting when the pictures were taken, white balance and other camera settings and even the fact that all our computer screens are different. With laptops, even the angle of the screens make a difference. I've seen pictures of...

    Peters Brothers

    Thanks for checking in Brad. BTW, regarding the private messages that TJones thoughtfully mentioned, you can go into your settings and set them to notify you when you have a PM. I thought that was automatic when I first joined and it wasn't. I had a couple of messages that I missed. Andy

    Well that straightens out the colors. Thanks Nyah and Bob. Yeah, I would definitely go for the natural like you guys did. I wonder how many of the other colors are being ordered. Andy

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    The entire opening was excellent, except I like the opening that shows him punching the girl instead of just walking away with a tip of the hat. Oh well for hat etiquette LOL! Now that I think of it, he had tools 'everywhere', not just his hat. Oh and now I pay much closer attention to all the...

    Bob, is that the lightest of the three colors that someone has mentioned? Natural I presume? Andy

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    I still watch WWW on a local station. James West was a hero of mine when I was growing up. Oh and my big sister 'loved' him. LOL! I'm pretty sure there are full episodes on YouTube. Interesting regarding the TSA. I thought about that recently when I considered flying to a niece's wedding. I...

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    HA! I think that's exactly what we need photogravity...tools that come out of our fedoras. Like the Roy Rogers Quick Shooter Hat. :-) Jim West (Wild Wild West) had tools in his hat too. Andy

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Yeah, 6'-6" 'plus' a tall crown...that'll do it. :) Andy

    How do folks react to your hat wearing?

    Big Man...that's a funny one! It reminds me of a couple of things (one hat related and one Capone related). When I was younger, I used to wear my cousins army hat from Vietnam. When I grew a beard, my friends started calling me Fidel. Yeah, another notorious character. Also, my dad and uncles...

    Peters Brothers

    Their Milan Hemp is exactly what I've been looking for. I seriously considered the new Stetson Milan Hemp, but there are things that are not perfect about it for me. Then came Bob's PB Milan Hemp. Perfect! However, I'm with Dave...calculating when to call. My summer is so bogged down with a...

    Post New Hats Here!

    Chamuco, you wear the Campdraft well with that white shirt (in the car). For some odd reason, my fedora just doesn't work with any type of T-shirt for me. Maybe because mine is fairly dark, I don't know. A look seems to be a funny thing. What works on some people, doesn't work for others. Andy

    Post New Hats Here!

    Great stuff M-T-L. I especially like the first one. Both of yours are examples of how I mentioned that I'm not that creative when it comes to ribbons. I would never have thought I'd like these, but they look great, especially number two. Interesting that you posted that second hat. I don't know...

    WOW! That's a great looking hat. I would love that, but fake seal fur would be fine for me. Andy

    Black sheepskin review

    LOL! Indeed. Man, I wish I could wear that hat right now. It's way too hot out for me. I love wearing straw, but I'm more than ready for winter hats. Andy

    Unfortunately, now my beard matches the hat! :) Andy
